Pirates' McCutchen never bringing back his dreadlocks

Andrew McCutchen isn't going to let a hairstyle define his career.

The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder, who rocked dreadlocks until this past March when he cut them off for charity, said he's done with the look.

"Never bringing them back," McCutchen told Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. "Never."

The 28-year-old is the franchise player for a Pirates team that looks strong going into the postseason, having won eight consecutive games, and believes that his now-former trademark haircut should be forgotten about.

"All it was, for myself, was a haircut," McCutchen said. "I know for other people it probably meant more because that was my trademark. But if my hair was my trademark, and that's the reason people know me, that means I suck at baseball."

McCutchen is far from sucking at baseball as he's in the midst of another great season, hitting .293/.403/.493 with 22 home runs, 95 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases.
